Interested to know what Rust was missing. I built an ad exchange last year and it has been great. I have been using nightly builds, mostly for access to async/await, and it has been very fast and stable.

I have had to submit a few pull requests to various projects along the way, but didn't find the ecosystem prohibitively lacking.

Would you mind sharing what libraries you are using?

actix, cdrs, rusoto, cadence, diesel, futures/tokio, serde, chashmap, slog, postgres, criterion, r2d2, chrono

That isn't all of them but those are the main ones.
